Hello,

I am a pre-med completing my science pre-req courses to apply for medical school. My undergrad GPA was a 2.6 and I have a non-science masters GPA of 3.2. My pre-req courses will yield me 56 hours and I know I need to get As or very few Bs to prove my ability to master the concepts and survive in med school. I was wondering with these types of stats, how do I figure out the GPA needed to ensure consideration from the schools I'm interested in? I have 14 I want to apply to and I know schools may make slight admission changes due to the new MCAT a which is what I will be taking.


Any advice is greatly appreciated.
